Fiorentina are reportedly one of many clubs keeping tabs on Italy international Manolo Gabbiadini.

The 27-year-old is considered to be one of the best strikers in Italy.
As a member of Italy national football team, Gabbiadini won 11 caps and he scored two goals.
The Southampton manager does not see him in his plans and would be open to letting him leave.
Stefano Pioli is looking to shore up his attacking options and Southampton’s Manolo Gabbiadini happens to be a target.
The Italy international is thought to perfectly fit the profile of striker Pioli wants to target in the winter transfer window.
According to Sky Italy, “Fiorentina are interested in taking Manolo Gabbiadini back to Italy from Southampton next month. Fellow Serie A side Bologna and other clubs from England and Spain are also keen on the striker, who has struggled to make an impact at St Mary’s.”
